Sweet and Simple Baby Girl Sitter Session | Houston Baby Photographer

September 20, 2016

I have to admit, this is my first baby sitter session, and you know what, I just love photographing this age so much! Babies are usually sitting up at 6 months and it’s such a precious milestone to be captured. I love the interactions ,and their expressions are just…endless!

Mom booked her mini baby session awhile ago and told me how she loved the cleanness of my newborn photography style. I didn’t have a portfolio to show her during our meeting but I appreciated her trust on me to do a good job in photographing her six-months-old sweetheart. During the pre-session meeting, we talked about the color palette and must-have shots/poses. Most important of all, we talked about what time of the day her baby would be most happy and made sure that was when the session would take place.

Baby Evelyn showed up at my studio with an irresistible smile and she immediately let me to hold her. I had already chosen a few sitter outfits and fabrics of different texture but similar tones, so her styling was quick and easy. How Mom loved those vintage and cute outfits! I did a few tricks to make her giggles. It wasn’t challenging at all since she was a happy baby overall. The session lasted only 30 minutes but I captured so many sweet faces and hilarious expressions.

So it’s been proven that you don’t know what you’re drawn to until you try it. As I was editing Evenlyn’s pictures, I felt like this would be something I’d love to do more often. As you scroll down this blog posts and look at the pictures of this sweet and simple baby sitter session, you’ll know why.

Baby sessions are a little different from newborn photography but I love them both now. So I’m considering to officially offer petite baby sessions from now on. Limited sessions available each month so make sure you book your baby sessions early.
